Highest Ive seen was 250CPU for Avian meat on Bria Galaxy. That was maybe a month ago when we last got 900+ on OQ and PE.

In Bloodfin avian goes for anywhere around 150-400 cpu. Being 400 cpu the highest that we ever paid for a current spawn. (It was the best avian that the server ever had and it was in Tat! Only damn Nunas dropped it.)

If that spawn on Gorath and was 4 months old or so, the price sounds about right, 400 cpu'ish. If its current, 100 cpu.

How do we make money? We do what any business would do, set the prices on buffpacks up.

Precisely.

Yup, that is exactly right. Gorath has only had 2 spawns of avian meat that have been above 900 oq and pe (Ices and Thiquee) and they are at least 4 months old. Unless either of those spawns of meat is on the the trade forums, I try not to buy any of the avian w/ a 400 cpu buyout, and bid no more then 300 cpu on the kind 2 different meats I just mentioned.
When I started selling buffpacks on my vendor, they were 130k a set, and my vendored emptied within days. Now, they are 155k a set. The stats are a little better, but to meet the price demand for avian meat, I have risen the price.
Avian meat in SWG can be compared to gasoline in our economy (in America) today. OPEC is selling gas for X price, so the gas stations charge us X+Y for it. Pretty simple and reasonable to understand if you ask me. =]

last decent spawn of avian people were paying 150-175cpu for it, 950+ PE and OQ, but the DR was like 500, big turnoff.
a lot of people missed the spawn after that, 800-850ish for all 3 stats, lower power, but much longer buff times, like 3 hrs 40 minutes with my new gas, only managed to get 1k of it, CAUSE IT WAS YAVANIAN, and not too many things drop avian on yavin in decent quantities.
still waiting for the big spawn, probably hit 300 cpu

Oh Yavin is still paradise compared to Tat. Last good spawn in Yavian, I managed to get like 500k + during the 14-20 days that spawned, and that was paying around 150 cpu. Stupid Tat spawn lasted for the same time, most Docs (including myself) were paying 400 cpu for it and I only managed to get 90k of it.
Very frustrating.

Eclipse has two avians that are very high priced, 600 cpu + for Pisro and now Aieprema is getting to be 550 ish cpu. Granted they have been out of shift for months, and have near perfect stats.
Another person asked how we can make any money with buffs with the current prices for avian.. well that question right there is the reason you see threads about raising buff prices and the cause of some heated arguments it seems. Answer simply put is, you cannot, unless you charge the reciepient of these buffs more.
I price my packs by whatresources I used and how much they cost me to make. The more that goes up, the more my packs will cost, and the more people will try to charge to apply the buffs. If I were a public buffing doc, I would vary my price by how much I had to pay for the packs Iuse. My 2620 / 3:27 min buffs are gonna cost quite a bit more than 2580 / 2:45 minbuffs simply beacuse the resources used to make the higher packs cost me a ton more credits to aquire than the resources used to make the lower packs. The difference in statsfor that example do notvary by that much, but the price of the resources DO. People sometimes dont seem to notice the "behind the scenes" costs involved. They just see final stats and a set price to buy em.
